Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Do autistic people appreciate beauty? Serious question.
Edit: Honestly folks there was no disrespect intended in my question, so thanks for the honest replies.
I’m not NT myself but have my own whackiness and thus don’t see some stuff others do easily.
Autistic person here. I like brutalism, science fiction, and the Zerg from starcraft. I think all three of those things are beautiful. I think flowers and lawns are ugly and smelly.
Well lawns are a waste of energy and other resources so you are correct there.
Also autistic person here - in terms of scents I can't stand strong smells like lavender, and roses. But I do like the smell of cherry blossoms and cinnamon.
Texture also has an interesting effect - there are some textures that gives me fingernails on chalkboard level aversion. But other I enjoy a lot.
Looks. I like boobs, I like butts, I like ladies who take care of themselves without being too skinny or overweight. - proportions matter. I like the look of the rear end of my car, and the fact that it has racing stripes. I like fender flares, but again, proportions matter. In terms of tech, I like copious, unicorn vomit amounts of RGB (I do lighting for my church - one of two things that keeps me at that church, the other being the people there feel like family and are lovely people)
Food. I like most foods, but I have an aversion to watermelon, celery, zucchini and cucumber for the texture as much as taste. I also don't like raw tomatoes if they aren't sauced up in some way (like in a sandwich it needs a helping of sweet chilli) and mushy peas make me want to throw up.
Everyone who likes brutalism should be sectioned-off and forced to live in a town with 100% brutalist architecture. If it doesn't cure them of their aesthetic insanity, at least we'll have finally used segregation for the benefit of everyone.
